Azerbaijan sees itself as part of the Global South and, accordingly, understands the challenges facing the region, Hikmat Hajiyev, Assistant to the President of Azerbaijan and Head of the Foreign Policy Affairs Department of the Presidential Administration said at the General Assembly of the Global South NGO Platform, according to Report.
Hajiyev also stressed that Azerbaijan remains a consistent supporter of multilateral cooperation.
"However, unfortunately, we are witnessing a paralysis of multilateral institutions and mechanisms," he said, expressing confidence that Global South countries will continue contributing to strengthening international institutions.
He noted that Global South states are facing new challenges, including digital inequality and the impacts of climate change.
According to Hajiyev, digital transformation is widening the gap between the Global South and the Global North, creating additional obstacles to sustainable development.
He also called on Global South countries to strengthen solidarity. "Through solidarity and joint efforts, we can ensure that our just voice is heard much more strongly on the global stage," said Hikmat Hajiyev.
Hajiyev added that Azerbaijan supports cooperation with the Global North and other regions, but stressed that such engagement must be based on fairness and equality.
